They did their best to teach and help the students to their max capacity. Their grading policies were also amazing, ensuring almost every student passed. St.Johns also did great with preparing students for future careers as they had career specific schools and courses. They could better the way they admit students to those programs becuase it seems like almost anyone can get in. They also need to do better in the way they discipline students because a lot of them get off with just a slap to the wrist. I'd like to see change in those aspects, especially the way everyone gets in to the programs. If they are not fit for the program theres no reason they should be getting in, and in the logn run it hurts the student because they can't keep up with the curriculum. ...

Their security is top notch and the food is really good. At my old school I used to bring a lunch box everyday but I don’t have to do that because the food here is actually edible. Also the school is very diverse in the different students who go there and everyone has a chance to learn and not get discriminated against. There’s a lot of different sports you can choose and you can even create a club that you want. I would like to see more kids involved though. Even if there’s a lot of different activities students don’t like participating for some reason. Also I would like to see more competitiveness in the school so everyone could do their best since they are competing with someone else. Overall it’s a great school, nothing bad has happened so ...

Over my time I have gone to 4 schools within the MCSD and not one of them has been anything less than an amazing environment. My academic success was solidified early into my years as a scholar here as well as my social upbringing. Every school has felt like a welcoming family with an amazing and active community. Kids step up to begin new programs and advocate for school decisions. Parents make sure that we are safe and happy in the buildings we attend to everyday. I feel confident that me and many others with go far because of what we were taught here. Our superintendent is a very kind man who tries to integrate student voices into district board meetings. I have personally spoken to him and many other district office leaders and I feel inspired everyday. In short, I would recommend my school district to anyone who lives in the area. I love my schools and I am so grateful for my educational space. ...

From kindergarten on, I was engaged in a curriculum that went beyond the basics, introducing me to Spanish, music, and cursive early on. The teachers are incredibly hands-on, creating exciting assignments that truly engage students. Furthermore, the administration's commitment to improvement is evident; they focus on providing real-life experiences and advice that extend far beyond K-12. With endless, well-supported sports options and caring staff in the after-school programs, the community feels genuine.

I attended a specialized magnet high school where the academic curriculum was highly competitive, offering rigorous Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrollment courses that genuinely prepared me for college workloads. The teachers in these advanced tracks were incredibly dedicated and passionate about their subjects. However, the district is massive, and navigating the administrative bureaucracy often felt overwhelming. While the specialized academies receive fantastic funding and resources, I noticed that traditional neighborhood schools sometimes lag behind in terms of facilities and updated technology.

It seemed teachers and students were more active and encouraged to go out and make a difference in their community. Also, not mentioning how diverse the area and a lot of the schools were.
